DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, I defeated M. Chardinee. What a surprise.
Of course, it isn't like there was anyone ELSE to fight. There is NOBODY here
but us and two other warriors! I don't count Club Foot, who went to the Dark Arena.
I wonder how many times in a row I can defeat M. Chardinee for the title? Or
maybe I'll get to fight some OTHER standby next time--what thrill that would be!

SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, MURSKA? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed
to see BLUE EYES win a fight and gain 9 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, BLUE EYES beat
BRANGWYN and BRANGWYN lost 7 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is
the spice of life, MURSKA may be getting bland, as GWALCHMAI stays top dog in the
city. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of
these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha!
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. MURSKA, I am losing what little hope I had in you.
CHILDREN OF LLYR the most avoided team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And
it looks like THE BEARS avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be
losers, if you ask me. Hmph.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for MURSKA's
morgue. More variety. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is
developing these kinds of weapons?
What does the MURSKA arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Just wait 'till next time I show
up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll
need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Megalodon -- Ah, as you're a Dwarf who's a "devil of the deep," we're talking deep
caves here, yes? -- Oisan
P.S. And Dwarves are notoriously acquisitive, as you have demonstrated by hogging
all those skills!
Padre -- I've given it careful thought, and even had a psychic flash about it--all my
family have the Sight to some degree--and I think you should become an island. I
know, I know, they say that "no man is an island." So start a trend. -- Brangwyn
I would have killed the Cult Member. I WANTED to. But the arenamaster stopped me.
-- Morpeth
P.S. Spoilsport.
P.P.S. It's a BAD cult.
I don't always agree with Morpeth. She's such a bloodthirsty wench! But it really
is a nasty cult. -- Cu-Cadal
P.S. Why is the arenamaster protecting it, eh? Something that needs looking into,
that.
30 July 2004
The total number of fights calculated was reported as 250 fights. This is a
misprint. It should have read "over 2,500 fights." -- Baphomet

Invitation to Newbie Managers
by Hammer
As a Captain of the Vendetta Cartel, Hammer has recently dissolved the Vendetta
Cartel Crimson Ascension Family. Lady Martilyo and Rook are NO LONGER members of the
Vendetta Cartel.
The Vendetta Cartel is divided into "Families" under the leadership of Captains;
who have been appointed by the VC God Father known throughout the dueling land as
Master Darque.
Hammer is now the Captain of the Vendetta Cartel Tarantula Tribe and the veteran
manager extends an invitation for prospective membership as a Probate [ONLY 2 Probate
positions are available in the VC Tarantula Tribe at the present time!] to any Newbie
Manager who qualifies under the following conditions:
1. Newbie Manager MUST have Online Access for Email communications! [Hammer is
presently living in Qatar and Lieutenants Maximillian and Firehawk are living in
Canada; so Email Communication is a MUST for consideration!]
2. Newbie Manager MUST have the time and funds to create 2 new stables to be
placed in 2 separate Slow Arenas [the cost of running 1 stable in a Regular Arena!]
to actively participate on a monthly basis with the other 3 T-Tribe members of the
Vendetta Cartel!
3. Newbie Manager MUST have the DESIRE to be an Active Member of the Vendetta
Cartel as a Tarantula Tribe trainee aka Probate; developing his/her managerial skills
under the mentorship of Hammer and the other VC members; thus proving themselves
worthy to become Vendetta Cartel Lieutenants in the Vendetta Cartel Tarantula Tribe!
The Vendetta Cartel Tarantula Tribe lives by the Feud; thereby prospective
Probates are forewarned that membership guarantees instant Friends and instant
Enemies!
Any prospective Probates who 1.) seek to improve their managerial
insights/abilities under the counsel of Hammer and other Vendetta Cartel members 2.)
desire to be active members of an Active Alliance that WILL NOT Dissolve in a Few
Months; building lasting friendships while enjoying Feuding with Common Enemies 3.)
who enjoy sending their gladiators to Tournaments and would strive to see their
manager name listed among the TV and TC winners in the Mailer Tourney Newsletters as
a member of the Vendetta Cartel MUST DO THE FOLLOWING:
Send an Email to HammerDM@fastermail.com to introduce yourself and provide
Hammer with a short Bio of your managerial successes/failures and favorite/least
favorite fighting styles; with a listing of your active stable/stables for Hammer to
verify in the online newsletters.
Hammer will choose the 2 prospective Probates for membership in the Vendetta
Cartel Tarantula Tribe on the basis of who he decides will be most suited [to
Hammer's purposes as the T-Tribe Captain!] from among those responding to this All
Arena Ad on a first response/first acceptance or rejection basis!
-- Hammer; Vendetta Cartel Captain/WordSmith and WeaponSmith of the Vendetta
Cartel Tarantula Tribe
